    I’ve got this wifi dongle, I’ve the intention to use it in a prototype I am working on (http://traffic.integreen-life.bz.it/wiki/prototype),
    Do you know the difference between the two repositories github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu and github.com/liwei/rpi-rtl8188eu; I successfully compiled and used both.

      I read somewhere that one of them used the blue led to show status of connection and such. I don’t know the internal differences.

    i can’t use the precompiled driver. Therefore i tried it on my own and got stugged here:

    -bash: .config: Permission denied

    Hey thx for reply,

    long story short, i made it. I had to create the emtpy file first, then chmod rights on it and that made the trick.
    Now i got my Pi running the TL-WN725N V2 on Soft-float Debian “wheezy” (2013-05-29-wheezy-armel).
    Therefore i would like to e-mail the file one of u to share it under github. Any volunteers?

      Are you using Raspbian?

      • Oliver %Y年%m月%d日 at %H:%M

        No, I’m sorry… I was trying with xbian

        返信
      • Oliver %Y年%m月%d日 at %H:%M

        anyway, xbian is based on raspbian, is there anything else I can do?

          Google for “xbian /proc/config.gz”. Second result:

          check kernel .config setup (under /proc/config.gz – if missing, do a “sudo modprobe configs”).

    Hi,
    thanks for this info!
    I built the module, but I get the following error with my and yours .ko
    “root ~/tplink/rpi-rtl8188eu # modprobe 8188eu
    ERROR: could not insert ’8188eu’: Exec format error”
    Do you have an idea of what is going wrong here?

    Thanks
    Dennis

    I tried these instructions on my RPi model A, raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #541 PREEMPT, based on the original Wheezy images and all the updates.
    But it seems the last update breaks the driver.
    I followed all the steps, not an single error until last step “sudo modprobe 8188eu”, ERROR: could not insert ’8188eu’: Exec format error.

    Please help, I tried so many other webpages and this one looked promising.
